this is bbc news. i'm chris rogers. the headlines at 8pm: the conflict between israel and palestinian militants continues — despite reports that the two sides have agreed to a ceasefire. at least a0 people — including several children — have been killed in the violence since friday. the two conservative party leadership contenders vying to be the next prime minister outline how they plan to help people cope with the rising cost of living. but former prime minister gordon brown says much more action is needed. a bbc news investigation reveals dozens of english councils have cut back on holiday food vouchers for children on free school meals. archie battersbee�*s family call for an inquiry into his care — a day after he died, following the withdrawal of life support.
8:01 pm
and... 72 artefacts forcibly removed from benin city during a british military incursion in 1897 will be returned to nigeria by a london museum. welcome to bbc news. the conflict between israel and palestinian militants shows no sign of abating, despite reports that both sides have agreed to a ceasefire brokered by egypt, which should come into effect in the next few hours. at least six more palestinians are reported to have been killed in air strikes in gaza, bringing the death toll to at least a0 people, including several children. palestinian militants have fired more rockets into southern israel and at tel aviv.
8:02 pm
from jerusalem, our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, reports. a crush of grief for islamichhad's most powerful commander in gaza. "revenge," the mourners shout, and soon it came, the armed group firing barrages of rockets at israeli cities. the death of the veteran militant is a serious blow to the jihadist group. he was killed here with seven others in intense israeli bombing. "it was horrifying. "they targeted the house with five or six rockets," says this man, who lives nearby. "there were bodies on the ground." and today, the violence also reached jerusalem, as israeli nationalists visited its most disputed holy site for a jewish holiday. israel's air defence system could be seen intercepting two palestinian rockets over the city,
8:03 pm
leaving trails of white smoke. israeli officials say they launched their military operation to prevent attacks by islamichhad on israeli civilians, that they had precise, detailed intelligence of its plans. but for now, civilian life is on hold in southern israel, the streets largely empty as air raid sirens leave residents hiding in bomb shelters. outside, nobody�*s hurt, but some rockets hit. and in gaza, too. we can't independently verify these pictures, but israel says they show a palestinian missile misfiring with deadly consequences. there was no israeli activity in the gaza strip in that area or at that time. islamichhad is killing palestinian children in gaza. after three days of fighting, we may now be heading for a ceasefire brokered by egypt, but people here know that a truce is always temporary. a truce is always temporary.
8:04 pm
and yolande knell gave us this update a short while ago. in the last few minutes we've heard that israel appears to have agreed to the ceasefire that the egyptians have proposed. but at the same time the palestinians have been saying they are still in negotiation with those egyptian mediators. so things are continuing there. it does seem that within islamichhad itself there are some quite serious internal divisions, particularly between the commanders on the ground in gaza and its more senior leadership, who live in exile because of the risk of assassination by israel, and they are very close to iran. so, we know that also islamichhad is under pressure from hamas, the powerful militant group that governs gaza, because of the worsening humanitarian situation there. interestingly, hamas has stayed out of this latest round of fighting
8:05 pm
and the humanitarian situation there now, because the crossings with israel have been closed for the past week or so, you're seeing hospitals really struggling, very severe power shortages, and that is causing a lot of difficulties and urgent calls for calm from the international community as well. that update from yolande knell, injerusalem. since yolande knell was speaking to us, the islamichhad palestinian militants have also announced they will agree to that ceasefire brokered by egypt's, but we are hearing fighting still continues. we will keep you updated. gordon brown says borisjohnson and the tory leadership candidates should agree an immediate emergency budget to tackle the rising cost of living. the former labour prime minister says millions of families may be pushed over the edge when energy bills go up in october. he said failing to act now would condemn vulnerable children
8:06 pm
and pensioners to a winter of "dire poverty." the first responsibility of government is to those people who are the most vulnerable and the people who are blameless in a crisis, and that's families with children, disabled people and elderly people in this country. we know that 80% of each of these groups are going to be in fuel poverty by the end of the year — in other words they're going to have to pay out far more for their fuel bills they can afford, while at the same time having to pay higher prices for their food, telecom, council tax and all basic necessities. it's absolutely urgent that you get together in the next few days, if you don't then the benefit changes cannot go through even if they're agreed in september until perhaps late october or november. it's quite important that we take action now when the emergency exists. and i really can't understand why the government is being so slow to respond to the latest very hefty increase in fuel bills, which is putting an unjustifiable burden
8:07 pm
on so many people. allies of the conservative leadership contender, liz truss, have insisted she isn't ruling out future direct help for people struggling to pay energy bills. yesterday, the foreign secretary said she would focus on tax cuts if she becomes prime minister, rather than what she called "hand—outs". one of her supporters, the trade minister, penny mordaunt, said ms truss was considering "other measures." there will be different things required for different people. there is the package of support that has already been put in place. liz is looking at other measures, i spoke to the chancellor yesterday, actually, about this and a raft of other things. he has commissioned some additional work. what we do need to do, though, is provide reassurance to people early and i think the right time to do that is when we have a new prime minister in, but we need to do pretty sharpish. and that is why i think it is right to have an emergency budget, why am glad liz is committed to that.
8:08 pm
oliver dowden, a supporter of rishi sunak, said ms truss' proposed tax cuts were "insufficient". i think this is one of the biggest challenges, possibly the biggest challenge for an incoming prime minister. we're going to see energy bills going up to almost £a,000. if you look at the idea of the tax cuts, this idea of reversing national insurance contributions, that's only going to benefit someone working full—time on the national living wage by less than £60. contrast that with whoever the prime minister is, they're going to get the benefit of about £1,800. this isn't the way to help people through this very difficult period. our political correspondent, damian grammaticus, spoke to us earlier. yes, recession and also inflation 13% now, peaking at that level, it says. so the really critical question, what are the two candidates going to do about that? and we see their very different visions.
8:09 pm
interesting today, i think, though, that what we saw was liz truss had very clearly, actually, said in her financial times interview yesterday that... the wording she said was, "the way i would do things would be lowering the tax burden, not giving hand—outs" — pretty clear, it seems. today that really came under criticism and fire from rishi sunak, who said that was entirely wrong and you should be giving hand—outs, or he would look at the possibility of giving hand—outs, and today we see penny mordaunt responding as a truss—backer, saying, "no, that has been over interpreted and liz truss potentially would look at some help." but i think sort of perhaps feeling that in this context the criticism and looking to moderate that. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this
8:10 pm
evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are the parliamentary journalist, tony grew, and the journalist and broadcaster, caroline frost. join us if you can. let's take a look at some of today's other news. a fifth man has been arrested over the disappearance of a student nurse in south london. owami davies was last seen a month ago in west croydon, after leaving her family home in essex three days earlier. the man is being questioned on suspicion of kidnap. four others have been bailed. thames valley police are investigating the death of an 11—year—old girl at a water park in berkshire. the child went missing during a friend's party at the liquid leisure water park and was found later. the venue has remained closed since her death. research by bbc news has found that holiday food vouchers for children on free school meals have been cut in value — or stopped — by 43 councils across england.
8:11 pm
the children's society is warning of a "�*postcode lottery of support�* and that millions of children could go hungry this summer. our education correspondent, elaine dunkley, reports. zed watches every penny. today, she's shopping at a community food pantry to pick up discounted essentials for the children. last summer, zed got a free school meal voucher in the holidays worth £15 a week. but here in birmingham, that's been scrapped. £15 might not sound like a lot of money. actually, in the grand scheme of it, it is. when you've got two children to be paying for, like, it is a big loss. the vouchers have been replaced with free holiday clubs that provide food and activities. i love to get my children out in all activities, but with having a young child and a child with additional needs, it can be extremely difficult for many reasons. three, two, one, go! the council has organised events like this. in birmingham, nearly 70,000
8:12 pm
children are eligible for free school meals. we had sandwiches, yoghurt, and a bit of fruit. yeah, it's a healthy lunch. i've enjoyed it a lot because i was able to go out. like, usually i wouldn't go to the park. usually i'd just be at home on my phone. the holiday activities and food programme is also meant to help families on low incomes who don't qualify for free school meals but are also struggling. the government says the household support fund has allocated up to £281 million to councils to spend on families with children. some local authorities have told us it has led to a reduction in the value of the vouchers they're able to offer. he wants chicken. birmingham city council says it's not offering vouchers this summer, but will spend £4 million on grants for households with children on free school meals. hi, andy, how's it going? at this community hub, they're helping struggling families, applying for a grant. currently on the desk,
8:13 pm
more than 400 applications. a similar number of people, but more families with young children. if you're a working family on a low income, or in the gig economy or you work part—time, then your choices are really limited. we're a lifeline. without us, they would, you know, really struggle. for many families, tough times have got tougher, with no break from the rising costs over the summer holidays. elaine dunkley, bbc news, in birmingham. earlier i spoke to helen leadbitter, from the charity, the children's society. she told me what she would like to hear on the issue from the conservative leadership candidates. we have actually heard very little, if anything at all, from either of the candidates about the well—being of children and young people in our society and the fact of the matter is that we now, a third of our
8:14 pm
children are living in poverty and thatis children are living in poverty and that is around 3.6 million children and young people living in poverty today and the impacts upon their well—being, thisjust today and the impacts upon their well—being, this just is a national scandal, really, so what we need is a clear plan as to how we are going to tackle this and by doing so, what we can give the children foundation is to thrive and what they need for their future aspirations. and this isn't in the form of an emergency short term plan, but we need a review of our welfare system in order to ensure that families who need that support are not left in a position where they are making decisions between eating or heating the house, for example.— decisions between eating or heating the house, for example. helen, 'ust briefl can the house, for example. helen, 'ust briefly can you fl the house, for example. helen, 'ust briefly can you give i the house, for example. helen, 'ust briefly can you give us i the house, for example. helen, 'ust briefly can you give us some i the house, for example. helen, just briefly can you give us some insight| briefly can you give us some insight into what families are going through and how important these meal vouchers are to them? the kind of families that you and your colleagues meet and work with and help? 5. colleagues meet and work with and hel ? ,, ,., ., colleagues meet and work with and hel? ,, ., , , colleagues meet and work with and hel? ,, ., , . help? 5, so, we are deeply concerned that many parents _ help? 5, so, we are deeply concerned that many parents are _ help? 5, so, we are deeply concerned that many parents are struggling - help? 5, so, we are deeply concerned that many parents are struggling and| that many parents are struggling and are in desperate need of support for
8:15 pm
their children, to feed them and to close them. they are living in environments where they maybe don't have suitable heating and this leads to further mental health needs of those children and young people, who are growing up in poverty. we know this means they have low well—being, lower sense of self—esteem and self—worth, they may struggle more school because of it and they can be very stigmatised and we have spoken to many children and families who fear that their children are more likely to be excluded if they don't have the correct school uniform, if they don't have the right shoes or clothes and the challenge is for families to be able to provide that for their children is very real. let's just bring you up—to—date with the latest headlines this evening on bbc news... the conflict between israel and palestinian militants continues — despite reports that the two sides have agreed to a ceasefire. the two conservative party leadership contenders vying to be the next prime minister outline how they plan to help people cope with the rising cost of living.
8:16 pm
but former prime minister gordon brown says much more action is needed. a bbc news investigation reveals dozens of english councils have cut back on holiday food vouchers for children on free school meals. this is quite fascinating, this next story. a london museum says it will return ownership of artefacts that were looted in the 19th century to nigeria. the horniman museum said 72 objects which were forcibly removed from the kingdom of benin during a british military incursion in 1897 would be handed over to the nigerian government. they include 12 brass plaques, known as benin bronzes.
8:17 pm
joining me now is david olusoga, historian and professor of public history at manchester university. i want to ask about these and in bronzes, there are many of them scattered all over?— scattered all over? yes, they are scattered all over? yes, they are scattered all _ scattered all over? yes, they are scattered all over _ scattered all over? yes, they are scattered all over britain - scattered all over? yes, they are scattered all over britain and - scattered all over? yes, they are scattered all over britain and thej scattered all over britain and the united states because they were sold after the raid in 1897, so here they have been dispersed to various museum collections now for over a century, but these are the greatest works of art they produced in africa and they are the nigerian, the country of my birth, national treasures. country of my birth, national treasures-— country of my birth, national treasures. ~ ., ., ., ~ treasures. what are we talking about? what — treasures. what are we talking about? what were _ treasures. what are we talking about? what were they - treasures. what are we talking about? what were they used i treasures. what are we talking | about? what were they used for treasures. what are we talking - about? what were they used for and how important are they in nigerian history? the how important are they in nigerian histo ? ., ., , history? the thing that we grouped to . ether as history? the thing that we grouped together as the _ history? the thing that we grouped together as the benin _ history? the thing that we grouped together as the benin bronzes - history? the thing that we grouped together as the benin bronzes is i history? the thing that we grouped together as the benin bronzes is a | together as the benin bronzes is a range of artefacts, not all of them metal objects, there are also ivory objects, but these were the decorations, the parts of the walls, the objects held within the palace of the... benin, right up until the british attack in 1897. this technique of making bronze objects
8:18 pm
with max wax moulds wasn't one of the most intricate ways of making nigerian art, so it is a huge range of objects and we are talking about thousands of objects. i of objects and we are talking about thousands of objects.— of objects and we are talking about thousands of objects. thousands of ob'ects. i suppose we have to be fair — thousands of objects. i suppose we have to be fair on _ thousands of objects. i suppose we have to be fair on museums, - thousands of objects. i suppose we have to be fair on museums, they l thousands of objects. i suppose we i have to be fair on museums, they are not displaying these items as, look what we got from nigeria, it is more about what we can understand from nigerian history, but this particular museum says it was the right and moral thing to return them. so why are some museums, such as the british museum, who also have some benin bronzes, refusing to do so? i some benin bronzes, refusing to do so? ~' _, ., ., , some benin bronzes, refusing to do so? ~' ., ., , ., so? i think the corollary of the horniman _ so? i think the corollary of the horniman museum's _ so? i think the corollary of the horniman museum's decision l so? i think the corollary of the l horniman museum's decision to so? i think the corollary of the - horniman museum's decision to return these items and define returning them as immoral and inappropriate means continuing to hold them by other museums as immoral and inappropriate and i would completely agree with that. these objects were stolen in a raid of colossal and appalling violence against the people of benin at the end of the 19th century and it is one of the
8:19 pm
most clear—cut cases of theft, appropriation of treasures from one society to another. the calls for them to be returned have been going on for the large part of half a century and we had calls from the british museum, which i very much admire and have been going to my whole life, which doesn't even display all the objects as has from benin city, 900 in total. i think the argument for retaining these kinds of objects taken in the age of colonialism are fading away, they are falling apart. museums are part of a colonial project and the age of the colonial museum, the ethnographic museum needs to be brought to an end. the ethnographic museum needs to be brought to an end.— brought to an end. the british museum actually _ brought to an end. the british museum actually says - brought to an end. the british museum actually says it - brought to an end. the british | museum actually says it cannot return them because of the museum museums act and the heritage act. do you buy that?— you buy that? absolutely, there are leual you buy that? absolutely, there are legal impediments _ you buy that? absolutely, there are legal impediments presenting - you buy that? absolutely, there are legal impediments presenting the l legal impediments presenting the british museum from returning these objects, but the law is changed all the time, we have sessions of parliament every year in which we change laws, it happens all the

8:21 pm
stolen objects? do we really want a relationship with the rest of the world to be one in which we hold things that are sacred to them out of a sense of might is right? the age of the ethnographic and colonial museum is over and we need to come to terms with this. is museum is over and we need to come to terms with this.— to terms with this. is there not a dancer, to terms with this. is there not a danger. though. _ to terms with this. is there not a danger, though, that _ to terms with this. is there not a danger, though, that we - to terms with this. is there not a danger, though, that we put - to terms with this. is there not a i danger, though, that we put some to terms with this. is there not a - danger, though, that we put some of these museums you are talking about under threat if they don't have these collections, that they are not going to be able to draw the crowds? every museum i have ever been to or worked with, its main problem is display space. almost every museum in the world, has the vast majority of its collection and storage because it hasn't got space to display everything it has. the british museum and most other museums have vast storage facilities. we can't even find the space to splay the objects that are museums hold, so why can't we return thousands or millions of them, in fact, to the people from whom they were taken and this is happening all around the world, germans and earlier this year have made similar

8:26 pm
from the hospital yesterday to announce that her son had died. the family always wanted his care to continue, saying he should be given a chance. but doctors at the hospital said it was futile — he stood no chance of a recovery. today, the family have issued a statement. in it, you get a sense ofjust how upset they are feeling. they say, "we have been forced to fight a relentless legal battle by the hospital trust, while faced with an unimaginable tragedy. "we were backed into a corner by the system, stripped of all our rights, and have had to fight for archie's real best interests. " they want a public inquiry into the role of the nhs and the courts in cases like this. now, the hospital said treatment was withdrawn in line with the views of the courts and it was in archie's best interests. now, court after court, putting emotion to one side, sided with the doctors. the nhs tell us they are in the process of setting up a review into the critical care of ill children. four more ships carrying grain and sunflower oil have left ports in ukraine after the deal to restart its exports and try and ease
8:27 pm
shortages and higherfood prices in countries that have depended on them. the ships left odesa and chornomorsk and will travel through the safe maritime corridor to turkey, where they'll be inspected. our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse, has this report. they continue to move. four isn't many, but these ships still have a corridor to travel through. eight vessels have now made it out in this landmark grain deal, carrying a quarter of a million tonnes. they're all inspected at istanbul in turkey, before heading on to their final destinations. the most fragile of agreements is holding. ukraine wants its grain to keep flowing out. 20 million tonnes have been stuck since the start of this invasion. 17.5 million more has just been collected. and the sunflower harvest is about to begin. after everything its economy has been through, ukraine needs this deal to work, which is why it's looking to build

confidence by telling shipping companies that there's money to be made here, by showing insurance firms that the level of risk is acceptable. but it also has to build some kind of trust with russia, despite continuing to fight for its very existence. it's hoped this agreement will last for four months. it could be extended. this is still the one patch of common ground in the most hostile of landscapes. james waterhouse, bbc news, in kyiv. french officials trying to rescue a beluga whale trapped in the river seine have tested a new strategy — a vitamin cocktail. the visibly malnourished beluga was first spotted on tuesday and has swum upriver to within 70 kilometres of paris. rescuers say it has so far refused their offerings of fish, either because it lacks energy or is sick. they hope that the vitamin injection will stimulate its appetite and help it to make the 160km return journey

clever stuff, though. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. it's been a very warm day for most of us today. it will get hotter, though, over the week ahead. through tonight, it's going to be dryjust about everywhere with clearer skies. the patchy light rain that was seen in western scotland clearing away. and later in the night we'll see a little rain arriving in the far north west of the country. ahead of that temperatures could be as low as 11—12 celsius tonight. there are some much warmer nights to come over the week ahead. this is how we start the new week, with some rain and cloud and stronger breeze, this time again in the northwest of scotland, highlands and islands. away from here, just some fair weather cloud, lots of sunshine, light winds, a little bit cooler, perhaps around coastal areas, thanks to some sea breezes. but inland temperatures are continuing to climb, getting close to 30 celsius already on monday in the london area. and across england and wales in particular, temperatures are set to soar over the week ahead with heatwave conditions on the way. and by friday in southern england, temperatures could be reaching 36 celsius.
